PROBLEM 1
A crest vertical curve is to be designed to
join a +3% grade with a -2% grade at a
section of a two-lane highway. Determine
the minimum length of the curve if the
design speed of the highway is 60 mi/h
using SSD and K value.

PROBLEM 2
A highway with a design speed of 100km/hr is
designed with a sag curve connecting a
descending gradient of 3% with an ascending
gradient of 5%.
A) Calculate the required length of the sag
curve.
B) If a bridge structure were to be located
within the sag curve, with a required clearance
height of 5.7m, then assuming a driver’s eye
height of 2 m and an object height of 0.26m,
calculate the required length of the sag curve 3
